Tom, Please don't give up or be alone. Did you read Don Parsons' post? On a couple of very difficult occasions, when I was taking care of Mark a social worker in the field was quite helpful. A social worker at the hospital may know who can advise you if he or she cannot do so.

She has the legal power to act and I don't. Unfortunately, it is as simple as that. I tried to convince Jurate back in October to sign the papers for a conservancy by me that my lawyer sent over, but she dithered on doing it and this is what we got.

hospital social worker is definitely worth a shot. and actually, if the hospital has a Catholic chaplain, that could be even better, because the sister obviously has grown up with the dumbed-down version of what the Church's actual position is and the chaplain could set her straight.

it's easy for me (or any of us) to do armchair long-distance psychoanalysis, but it's completely inappropriate and a little disgusting, so if it sounds like I've gone in that direction at some point, please forgive me. it's just so hard to figure out why she's made up her mind to believe the worst about you. but she obviously has.

this is about as terrible as things get, and you deserve it less than just about anybody I know.
